FWIW, you can work around the level issue with a dummy item for HomeKit and some rules. At least the level doesn’t jump around like crazy while being adjusted through HomeKit…

your.items example:

Dimmer KitchenCeilingLight                      "Deckenlampe" <light> (gKitchen, gLights) { channel="zigbee:device:XYZ_1_switch_level" }
Dimmer KitchenCeilingLightHomeKit               "Deckenlampe" <light> (gKitchen) [ "Lighting" ]

your.rules example:

// Kitchen Ceiling Light
rule "KitchenCeilingLightHomeKit"
when
    Item KitchenCeilingLightHomeKit received command
then
    if (receivedCommand != ON && receivedCommand != OFF) {
        KitchenCeilingLight.sendCommand(receivedCommand)
    } else if (receivedCommand == OFF) {
        KitchenCeilingLight.sendCommand(0)
    }
end

rule "KitchenCeilingLight"
when
    Item KitchenCeilingLight received update
then
    val level = KitchenCeilingLight.state as Number
    KitchenCeilingLightHomeKit.postUpdate(level)
end
